"Villa Gotta" - Fubine, Piedmont, Italy

Villa Gotta is an absolute treasure – tucked between the beautiful hilltop villages of Vignale Monferrato and Fubine in the heart of the Monferrato wine region of Piemonte. This 250 year old villa has recently been restored to luxurious standards – retaining traditional Piemontese features blended with a modern touch for the most discerning of visitors.

The villa is set over three floors with separate entrances with grand marble staircases at each wing, comprises six double bedrooms, five luxury bathrooms (four en suite) and a spectacular 13 x 8.5 m swimming pool overlooking the villa’s private five acre forest. The specification throughout is of the highest standards including granite worktops in the kitchen, all modern appliances, tiled flooring throughout and underfloor heating on the ground and first floors.

Totally secluded, the villa sits at the top of a hill with spectacular views of Vignale, San Lorenzo and Cuccaro and represents an outstanding restoration, a relaxing and sumptious place to holiday and the perfect place to explore the glorious Piemonte wine region. It is perfect for food lovers, families wishing to spend some quality time together and large groups of friends who wish to enjoy spacious accommodation.

With its beautiful rolling hills, the Monferrato region is ideal for walking and cycling and for golfers: the villa is also within a 5-10 minute drive of one of northern Italy’s most famous championship courses, Golf Magara.

The property is within easy driving distance of the five major airports in northern Italy - Genoa, Turin, Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate and Bergamo.
